What can board members reasonably conclude about the candidate from the evidence they were actually given?The episode explores why telling a board you're collaborative, decisive, transparent, or data-driven isn't the same as letting those characteristics show through real leadership experience. It also examines how the leadership signal you intend to send can differ from the one the board actually receives.Executive Interview Intelligence™ | Research Observation #138Your story is the evidence.
